Peach Tart in a Glass (serves 6 to 8)

For the biscuit base:
100g digestive biscuits or another similar biscuit
40g melted butter

1 tsp fine sugar

- Place the biscuit, melted butter and sugar in a small food processor and blitz to a fine sand.  Press into the base of several serving glasses up to 8mm thick and refrigerate. (I misread this part, you will see I have more pudding than cookies)

For custard:
1 cup evaporated filled milk
1 cup water
3 tbsp custard powder
1/2 cup fine sugar (will reduce next time, I find it too sweet)
1/4 tsp fine salt


- Place all the custard ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.  Boil gently for 2 mins (the custard will thicken) and then transfer to a wide bowl.  Cool, then spoon 3 tbsp into each glass.


- Arrange diced peaches on top and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.


- Garnish with mint if desired.

For topping:
1 can peach halves in syrup, drained and diced
Fresh mint sprigs (Optional)
